The melting today on Greenland’s ice sheet is roughly equal to the greatest rates of ice loss in the last 12,000 years, a new study shows. But if greenhouse gas emissions are not curbed, the ice ...

Fettweis, a polar researcher, created a model scientists use, along with satellite data, to study Greenland's changes. The melt is among two of the largest melts in the ice sheet history after the ...

Greenland's ice sheet is melting faster than scientists previously estimated, according to a study released Wednesday in the journal Nature, with the loss believed to be 20% worse than previously ...

A record-setting European heat wave hit Greenland, causing a major melt on 60 percent of its ice sheet. (Video: Associated Press/Caspar Haarløv “Into the Ice”) ...

What we do know is that the ice cores tell us to expect even more melting snow flowing off Greenland in the coming years as temperatures continue to climb. Nature , 2018. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018 ...

Research published in the journal Nature Communications on Monday says 3.5 trillion tons of Greenland's ice sheet melted from 2011 to 2020, which would be enough to flood all of New York City in ...

According to a preliminary estimate, that melt covered 87 percent of the ice sheet’s surface, which would be the second-biggest melt day in Greenland’s recorded history.

Ice collapsing off the Russell Glacier in Greenland. Researchers agree that ice-sheet melt in Greenland will lead to at least several inches of global sea-level rise by the end of the century.

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the northern hemisphere. The ice sheet has already lost over a trillion tonnes ...

MORE: Melting Arctic ice will have catastrophic effects on the world, experts say. Here's how. The researchers analyzed a time series of ice sheet motion and surface elevation data derived from ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is already melting; between 2003 and 2016, it lost about 255 gigatons (billions of tons) of ice each year. Much of the melt to date has been in the southern part of the ice ...
